Welcome to my blog! Mike and I were married on July 22, 2006 in Erie, PA. Although we're not technically considered newlyweds anymore, we still feel like we are! We live in a house we rent from my MIL with our dog, a pap-a-poo mix, Louis (pronounced "Louie") who is our pride and joy. I'm finishing up school full time to get my BA in finance while working full-time in a financial aid office and Mike is currently a technician for a national aerospace corporation. While we lead fairly boring lives, I'll try to spice things up from time to time to make the blog more exciting to read :)

I actually found out on Friday but this is the first time I've had a moment to write an update. Unfortunately, the job went to the coworker who I was 99% sure was going to get it anyway. I was a bit salty in the beginning since I have 5+ years of experience

Why can't she ever seem to come on time? She was due yesturday and has been a no-show. I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to blog about this because I'm sure she'll arrive as soon as this posts. I think I'm starting to tire of her senseless mindgames

I took the plunge.

Well - I did it. I applied this morning for the Assistant Director position. I'm nervous. Like, really nervous. I have no idea if I truly want this job or not. I guess I'll just see what happens for now and deal with it later. I figured it was better
